It's much more difficult to stir if you dump all of it in at one time and you don't get as smooth of a mixture. It's good (if you're making them from scratch) to mix the dry ingredients in one bowl and the liquids in another and again gradually mix the two together.

How do you use Pillsbury chocolate cake flour?
There seems to be some misunderstanding. Pillsbury - and other companies - produce chocolate cake mixes, along with chocolate brownie mixes, cookie mixes, and so forth. These mixes include ordinary all purpose or cake flour combined with sugar, cocoa and other ingredients. You use the mix by adding other things, usually eggs, oil or butter, water or milk according to the directions on the package. > But there is not a commercial product that is "chocolate cake flour." Flour is simply flour; cake flour has less gluten (a protein) than all-purpose or bread flour. You need to add cocoa or baking chocolate to the cake flour in order to make chocolate cake.
When cookie recipe calls for cake flour and you have bread flour how can you fix it?
Bread flour contains a higher percentage of gluten than cake flour. Gluten makes bread dough elastic and forms the structure of bread. Cake flour has less gluten so that the cake "crumb" is tender, not bread-like. Depending entirely on the type of cookie you are making, you might get an acceptable result with bread flour, but the texture of the cookies might be tough or chewy rather than tender and crumbly.
